WORLD PEACE TAX FUND BILL
The World peace Tax Fund (WPTF) bill was first introduced in Congress by Ronald
Dellums (D-CA) in 1972 and later in the Senate by Mark Hatfield (R-OR). This
bill would amend the Internal Revenue Code to provide an alternative for taxpayers conscientiously opposed to participation in war. Passage of this pending
legislation will create a World Peace Tax Fund as a trust fund to receive the
military percentage of income, estate and gift taxes paid by conscientious
objectors to military taxes. A Board of Trustees would administer the Fund
with Congressional approval. It is estimated that the Fund would receive over
$4 billion in the first year after passage.
Eligible uses of the WPTF would include financing a National Peace Academy;
disarmament efforts; research directed toward developing and evaluating non-
military and non-violent solutions to international conflict; retraining workers
displaced by conversion from military occupations; international exchanges for
peaceful purposes; improvement of international health, education and welfare;
and programs for providing information to, and education of, the public about
the above activities,
Taxpayers would certify their status as conscientious objectors on their tax
form in a way similar to the presidential election campaign contribution
question by using a check-off box. Taxpayers who chose to pay taxes into the
WPTF would pay their full share of taxes. There would be no reduction in the
amount of taxes paid by conscientious military tax objectors.
